He called me on an urgent hasis informing me about it, I thought he was asking me to go toward Eldermere ruins, because that's where we smell magic, but he called me toward the north wing of your manor. When I reached there, he pointed at the forest. We split up and followed the scent, but by the time I reached there, the witch was gone. Even he couldn't find her. It was like she disappeared into thin air."

I clenched my fists in my lap. Nothing was making sense. I exchanged a glance with Lucien and he asked me through the mind link to stay quiet,

Tarian ran his fingers through hair. "Walter was sure that there was a witch. But yes, the smell of dark magic-like that of embers and smoke mixed with herbs was thick in the air. I sniffed the scent and followed it, but I guess the witch was too clever. She must have detected us and took off!

A muscle feathered in Lucien's jaw. Then he looked at me and called Vivi. "Vivir"

Vivi came rushing in "Yes Alpha" she asked, wiping her hand on her apron. "Send Belle here." he growled.

Vivi sulled for a moment sensing his anger, but she bowed and left.

Tarian's brows furrowed. "Why are you calling Belle!"

Before Lucien could reply, Belle came in. She looked nervously at the three of us. "Yes Alpha?" she asked.

A sudden wave of dizziness swept over me, and the world tilted in a heartbeat. I gripped the edge of the table tightly. Lucien's hand was at my back instantly. "Auren?" he

I whispered as I forced myself to take a steady breath.
